Publisher's Summary
Bob Marley: One Love is coming to theaters in January 2024 from Paramount Pictures.
This is the classic biography of reggae legend Bob Marley, updated and revised for the twenty-fifth anniversary of his death.
Bob Marley left an indelible mark on modern music, both as a reggae pioneer and as an enduring cultural icon. Catch a Fire, now a classic rock biography, delves into the life of this man, the leader of a musical and spiritual revolution that continues today. The book chronicles Marley's life and career, as well as the milieu that shaped his spiritual and political beliefs.
Under the supervision of the author's widow and with the collaboration of a Marley expert, this fourth edition contains a wealth of new material, including many revisions made by the author before his untimely death. This new edition, factually updated throughout, chronicles Marley's legacy in recent years, as well as the ongoing controversy over the possibility that Marley's remains might be exhumed from Nine Mile, Jamaica, and reburied in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where hundreds of Rastafarians live.
Fascinating inside information about the intrigues of the reggae music business, the dramatic rise of Marley's musical offspring, the complex legal struggles surrounding the Marley estate, and a sweeping social history of modern Jamaica, as well as the Rastafarian religion, also make up this expanded edition.

A life's passion telling of another life's passion
Passionate insight into a life and world most can never know.
When you read or listen to a work rewritten over a dozen times in the pursuit of accuracy and information you know before the first line that its going to be able least an eye opener if not a life changer.
Tim White's book opens up a world and creative process that can never be known by so many souls that are affected by it without knowing. Whether its the philosophy of reggae or the impact Marley had on other contemporary musicians and the ripples it sent through the world.
If your interested in music, in modern culture or obviously a reggae or Marley fan, this book is a must.
